Indeed missing here. And through
the interstices OF the doors q subtle
odor began to creep, taintina the air
o the tightly-closed house-a strange
and sickening smell, whose suggestion
caused the flesh to thrill with horror,
and the hair to stand erect. The two
men gazed at each other an instant in
shocked dismay and horror, then Don
Pablo lead the way in haste to Mari
mas chamber, and threw open the
door. A rush OF noxious vapor came
INTO beonels face from the room that
held his love, and his first glimpse Of
its interior, showed him Marina, bent
over the big brazier on her light-stand,
with her face laid close upon its glow
ing Goals. As her father and Lionel
entered the room, she lifted herself
erect, every line OF her figure express
ing mingled agony and the fortitude
OF resolution, and staggering blindly
forward, she fell senseless beside her
bed.
1t was year later that the devout
gathered at the early morning mass
in the cathedral watching with in
terest the entrance OF wedding
party, in which the groom was
Leonal de la Montana, and the bride
lady whose figure was OF exquisite
elegance and grace. but whose face
was beyond criticism, in that it was
closely covered by a black mask,
VIII: b was not removed throughout
the ceremony. From her terrible
sef-immolation Marina had brought
her beautiful eyes unscathed in vision
or appearances; and her sweet
fresh lips were as perfect as of
yore. Put all the rest OF her
countrrance was one frlghtful
and cicatrice-a thing of seams
scars and dreadful discoloration,
to look on which drew shudders OF
horror from her nearest and dearest.
But for Leonel de la Montana her
charm was omnipotent-greater now
than when she was in the full flush of
her soft, brilliant beauty. Amid the
gross profligacy and intidelity OF the
Spaniards in Mexico, his loyalty and
devotion to his wife never wavered,
and the harmony OF their perfect love
and trust was never marred, till uhel:
/ lives, but not their hearts, were sun
dered by the power OF death, wher
both were far advanced in age. And
the street where Marina so painfully
proved her love has ever since beer

The Temperature of Dwelling
Rooms.

DR.. d. Benjamin OF Camden, n. j.,
has made some observations regard
ing the subject OF the varying tenn
perature OF our dwelling rooms which
will be found OF much practical i'm
portance.
Every one knows in q general way
that the air of rooms is colder near
the floor and near the windows, but
the very exact differences OF tempera-
ture as obtained by DR.. Benjamin are
very striking. For example, in a
room 10 feet high, 12 wide, and 20
long, with a good stove and steady
fire the temperature in the centre was
found to be 73 degrees f.; tour feet
it was 20 degrees; one foot from the
window 54 degrees, and at the windoN "
40 degrees. At the height OF the he|
the temperature was ~ degrees.
the floor so degrees, difference OF
degrees. At the ceiling the temper
ture was 90 degrees, when the te
perature at the height OF the head VI
o degrees.
The fact that the temperature
dwelling rooms vary SO widely
plains, no doubt, the frequency W
which young children, and even adu
take colds in the house. A child sitt
on nurses lap in q temperat
of 20 degrees gets down and plays
the floor in q temperature 10 or m
degrees lower, or runs to the wind
a change OF 20 or 80 degrees.

slippers or light shoes in the hous

same reasons.
The temperature OF a room sho
be about 20 degrees Z. The hot
mace heated houses of our cine
cause a vast deal of nervous and res
piratory trouble. The thermomete
should be hung at about the height G
the PERSONS head, and, OF course, no
near the window or stove.

A SONG FOR A BOY LOVE

Keep ahead OF the world, Il you can, my boy
It's the only sure way to succeed,
II you e'er fall behind, twill be hard TO get back
To the spot where you once had the lead;
Ano tHere's no way TO win in the battle OF life
So easy, So .afe and so sure,
As to have few ou;lars ahead OF YOUR wants
For most OF lifes ills 'rls eke cure.
But you never get dollars till arss yca get
pence
As from acorns the mighty oaks grow;
Work hard, and work ever, and save as you toll.
No matter il progress seems slow;
Thus be true to yourself in the years OF your
youth,
And you'll rest without worry when old;
Save the pennies today, into silver they'll turn
And the silver will grow into gold.
Let the fools try to tempt you to pleasures to-
day,
That will take the small coin from your purse
Store your brain in the hours they give TO the
world
With knowledge, you'll not be the worse;
For labor, and study, and saving in youth
Will give rest and content when you're old,
And the pennies to-day viii be silver full soon
And the silver will grow into gold.
Fair Italy lies on the Alps farther side,
IT'S the place we have dreamed or Away,
But those Alps must be climbed by the stout
limbs Of youth
Ere by Tiber We pass age away;
So work, my brave boy, in the years OF your
strength,
nyou want rest and plenty when old
Take care Of the pennies, TO silver they'll turn.
And the silver will grow into gold,

1T is a curious fact that persons fal
from robust often outlive those OF eX-
traoriinary strength and nardihood.
Upon this subject the Canada Health
Journal says that the vital parts of the
system must be well balanced in order
to attain long life, and that excessive
strength in one part is a source OF dam
ger. Hence an over-developed muscu-
lar system invites dissolution, because
it is a continuous strain on the less

aft the merchant tailors now in convention
in this citv." said one Of our club men yester-
day, think they can set the fashion and
make the gilded youth of this country follow
it by simply deciding in congress assembled
that such and such a style Of garment is to be
the mode, they are very much mistaken. The
laws governing gentlemen's clothes are at
present set in England by London tailOrs.
When the tailors want to introduced certain
cut or cloth they ask some titled individual to
wear a garment of that stuff or pattern, and
allow him to set the fashion; they don't try to
do it themselves. You may remember the
fate of the mulberry colored dress suit which
was 10 take the place Of the conventional
clawhammer q few years ago. A more non
descript Garment was never invented, and the
pictures Of it in the windows were enough to
kin il Unless the tailOrs can show more or
irinalitv. or rather moro taste, than that,
they had better be content 10 follow their
ENGLISH brethren, or wait until we have some
one in this country who can set the fashion
as the Prince Of Wales does abroad.
eThe servility with which this distinguished
princes fads are followed is shown at
present in the fashion some of our smart
Young men have of leaving the lowest button
of their vest unbuttoned. The story is that
the prince loosened this particular button one
evening after a stag dinner, and that the next
morning al the young men who had been
present appeared in O similar state of desha-
billie. Tho fashion has now reached this

their husbands or fathers, have purchased
valuable articles at store where they had
credit. and then sent them to us to obtain a
loan. They get the money they want, and
having no use for the articles they fail to re-
deem them. Their husbands or fathers pay

A noted ex-general of the Union army to-

power exercised by Edwin III. Stanton when
secretary Of war. The ex-general had been
personally and contemporaneouSly cogni-
rant of much of the inner history Of the war
department, as well as of the affairs at the
front, when Grant was fighting his way in
the Wilderness and thereafter on the road to
Richmond He said there was no donbt OF
/ Stanton's complete control over President
| Lincoln when he chose 70 exercise it, in mo
mentous war questions as well as small de-
tails regarding the conduct CT the Union
armies. Said the general;
"You people in Washington believe that

Senator Nesnlith, Of Oregon, who was chalr-

which had been previously advised by Stan

encouragement to the people OF the northern
